Correcting mistakes
You can use the Undo command to correct mistakes you make while using the Adobe
Illustrator program. You can even undo an operation after you choose the Save command
(but not if you closed and then reopened the file). If an operation cannot be undone,
the Undo command is dimmed.
Depending on how much memory is available, you can undo an unlimited number of the
last operations you performed, in reverse order, by repeatedly choosing the Undo
command. The Illustrator performance is usually not affected by the number of undo
levels you choose; however, if you are trying to display complex artwork, you may receive
a message asking you to reduce the number of undo levels because of insufficient
memory.
You can also revert a file to the version that was last saved (but not if you closed and then
reopened the file).
To undo or redo an operation:
Choose Edit > Undo or Edit > Redo. (Depending on the memory available to your system,
you can choose Undo an unlimited number of times.)
To change the minimum number of undo levels:
1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Units & Undo (Windows and Mac OS 9) or Illustrator >
Preferences > Units & Undo (Mac OS X).
2 Enter a value for Minimum Undo Levels, and click OK. The default undo level is 5.
To revert a file to the last saved version:
Choose File > Revert. You cannot undo this action.
Using rulers
Illustrator can display rulers, one along the top and one along the left side of the illus-
tration window.
When you open a new file, the rulers are not visible, but you can display them at any time.
These rulers are a tool for accurately placing and measuring objects on the artboard. As
you scroll and zoom around the file, the rulers adjust accordingly.
To show or hide rulers:
Choose View > Show Rulers, or View > Hide rulers.
